Pc suspended after stealing drugs
Dear Sussex Police,
I am aware that police Constable from Brighton’s Neighbourhood response unit in his early twenties has been suspended for some considerable time on full pay for stealing class A drugs from evidence stores.
I believe his name is Joshua, please provide his full name?
Is it correct that his excuse so far was a desire to end his life using party drugs stolen from the very people he seized them from?
Do you think it’s correct that the public continue to pay his wages for this period of time?
Can you please tell me why this information has been hidden from the public who are paying his
Yours faithfully,
Benjamin
